I wouldn't say I hate -all- of Your Reality.

Just Monika.

Your Reality isn't a great song because it isn't supposed to be a great song. That's kind of the point, you know?

(Definitely not a good nom for this contest)

Oh man, Road to Droog's being beaten up really badly. I should've nominated Road to the Tower instead.

Oh well...

Results, day 10:
Life Will Change > Cider Time, 27-14
New Messiah < Sunshine Coastline, 9-33
Soaring Through the Sad Blue Skies > Road to Droog, 33-8


Blow-out city. The first match avoiding a doubling was the closest this day came to competitive.

To grab something from the last match...

Advokaiser posted...
Soaring Thorugh the Sad Blue Skies is catchy, upbeat,

That kinda seems like a weird way of describing STtSBS, in my mind, if only because the track strikes me as so sorrowful. It's more like a person desperately trying to appear upbeat, all while hoping no one will question her on it because the moment someone does, she'll break down in tears. If that makes any sense >_>

...It kinda reminds me of Lady Tears II in that regard, which has a similar thread running through the Mycro-esque first few minutes, but where STtSBS tries to stay strong throughout, Lady Tears II actually breaks down emotionally in a very powerful way for the last third of the piece. Heck, I actually remember breaking down in tears at that moment when playing the game for the first time.

Results, day 11:
Eleganza (Cthylla Stage) > Light Pollution, 20-16
Scars of FAUNA < Flash Frost, 17-18
Unknown Lands < In This Cage, 12-24


Some close matches, especially in the second pairing, where Scars of FAUNA leaped out to a commanding lead until Flash Frost went on a tear to even the match and kept staying just a little ahead thereafter. But even Eleganza was threatened. Sign of weakness, or just an indication that Light Pollution is a better track than the bracket gave it credit for?

I actually really like Light Pollution, and was split on the vote. Went with Eleganza, just because the vocals (which I'm assuming are gibberish?) make it the more memorable of the two by a bit.

Fight Between the Wind and the Blinking Sky > Glitch Nerds, 21-16
Nacrene City < Sonic Mania, 8-26


Posting this 3 minutes early, so maybe I update these numbers slightly, but RIP me. And shonen. I didn't want to win bracket predix anyway.

Do you guys actually care if I keep using spoiler tags? I'm starting to wonder if it has any mileage.

Also, I really hope the totals bounce back to above 40 after the weekend.

you guys don't remember how azuarc fed LastPandemic to Blue Radiance R1 last year and it performed very well huh

I only re-nominated it for this contest because I felt that it didn't get a fair shake last year.

Also, I'm also against spoiler tags. Agreed that they're unnecessary.

Results, day 13:
Into the Light > The Devil Went Down to Georgia, 21-17
Ignition > Steam Gardens (Wooded Kingdom), 25-13
Jaw < SOLID STATE SQUAD, 12-23

The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
He laid that round 2 pass down at Into the Lights feet
'Light' said, "Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again,
I told you once, you son of a bitch,
I'm the best theres ever been! (Today, at least)

Some idle vgm ramblings since it's been on my mind.

Should have checked out the Atelier Lydie & Suelle OST earlier. Haven't fully listened to it, but Beyond the fate and Sunflower -Part 3- are quite good.

oh well there's always next year

Rain of Blossoms is pretty good IIRC. Or do you mean the original specifically? I'm too lazy to do that. >_>

Results, day 14:

Phantom R's Theme > Seize the Day, 21-14
Mechanism Turned On < Cradle Where Feelings Rest, 9-26

First match was tight up until the very end when Pokemon Teaches Typing 3-0'ed the finish. Bloodlines was decent, but I didn't think that match would be so close...or that people would be instead telling me the other two matches were the evil ones.

Terrible Monster Attacking Crew! > Patchouli Stage 3, 28-8

A Persona track losing in round 1 probably would have been the last surprise of Bracket A. The MegaMari prologue is disappointed for not being chosen. (Probably so is Patchouli 1.)

Results, day 16:
Invitation of the Butterfly > Living Mice, 27-15
Scrum Debate < The Best is Yet to Come, 19-22
Zinogre Theme < Main Theme, 18-22

The perennial MGS ending theme manages to narrowly hang on against DanganRonpa with a late surge. The Sexy Brutale also keeps one from slipping away. For a track that's essentially mute for the first 20 seconds, Living Mice was surprisingly impressive in defeat.

probably

i don't remember trends too well. IIRC, side-match was close for a while but Shevat pulled away late. Don't recall thinking the other two were in any real doubt.
